Gone Phut!

Karun Sharma

We can as well now forget about a session of exercises in the premises of an auto-logistics firm (ref previous post) on a Saturday morning. The main constraint is space.
“It’s a small set-up out there with no more than 35 employees,” revealed Karun Sharma, who had a long discussion yesterday with the HR executive who approached us. “They don’t even have a hall to fit us all.

A livid Shekhawat tries to make telephonic contact

My feeling is they want only two or three of us to stand beside some work station and demonstrate our moves.”
This was confirmed subsequently over another telephonic discussion with the executive, Ramesh Sangore.

There was also the issue of the Club raising an invoice mentioning GST No, etc. about which we pleaded helplessness. Neither are we a commercially-driven organization nor do we intend to make a profit from our hosts. In fact, this would have been the first time we were sticking our necks out in such a situation.
Sangore however, proposed that Karun Sharma could perhaps hold a session for the employees in his individual capacity as a professional life coach.
“I told him that he had approached Big Laaf first and it was through the Club he had got to know me,” Karun narrated. “It would therefore be ethically improper on my part to exploit the situation for personal gain.”
Meanwhile, Shekhawat revealed a side of him that was completely out of character. He is known for his extraordinary zeal in collecting cash and till yesterday had kept insisting that none of the moneys collected for membership renewal would be refunded. This was in the face of mounting criticism against accepting the subscription of a member who has meant no good to the Club.
Today, buckling under pressure, Shekhawat retracted from his stated position and announced he would return the subscription of the recalcitrant member -- in effect, terminate her membership. As usual, she was not present. He tried getting her on the phone and as usual, she did not take his call. Out of sheer disgust, he sent word through Zarina Khan for the lady to come to the Garden and take back her money.
